Constructed in the early 1820's for William Ariel of Bristol, Thwaite House and Guardswood Cottage are situated 1/2 a mile from the picturesque Coniston village where there is a thriving community having schools, a church, shops, a bank, cafes and restaurants amongst the many amenities available. The two properties were originally built as a holiday home and stable and boast fine views over Coniston water towards Brentwood, the historical home of poet and artist John Ruskin, now a museum, and Grizedale Forest. The grounds are located just four miles from Hawkshead and eight miles from Ambleside.

The current owners bought the property back in 2018, from a local family who owned the properties since 1935. The owners have fully transformed both properties and have put a lot of time and effort into bringing the properties to life. New kitchens have been installed as well as four beautiful bathrooms that add a real sense of class to the property. The Guardswood Cottage which used to be a flat with workshops on the ground floor has been fully reconfigured and renovated to a beautifully high standard.

THWAITE HOUSE is a magnificent, versatile detached residence which has many beautiful features to it. Upon entering you will find an impressive entrance hall with a stunning winding stair case to the first floor. The ground floor offers three reception rooms which are all perfect for relaxing in and entertaining guests, a kitchen diner with original stone flagged flooring which leads to the utility area and downstairs toilet. The property has ample storage with a well proportioned cellar with lighting and original flagged stone flooring.

The first floor offers four charming double bedrooms with views out to the lake and two beautiful four piece bathrooms, heading upstairs to the second floor which has an additional three double bedrooms which again have even more impressive views out around the local area. The second floor is complimented by a further two bathrooms as well.

GUARDSWOOD COTTAGE is a delightful detached cottage which offers two beautiful double bedrooms with two being on the ground floor and a single bedroom on the second floor, an open plan living area on the first floor which is the perfect place for entertaining and relaxing in. The cottage has a further two bathrooms adding to the property’s versatility.

The properties are situated within approximately 1.35 acres of private grounds which are accessed by a driveway and cattle grid. There is ample parking to the walled courtyard and the versatile grounds offer many tranquil seating areas to take full advantage of the fabulous views and surroundings. There are outbuildings, wood stores, lawns, and barbeque area, an orchard which includes apple, damson and plum trees, natural gardens which produce blankets of daffodils and bluebells in the spring and an abundance of mature trees and established shrubs including azaleas and rhododendrons which provide colour and fragrance in the summer, rocky outcrops, box hedge borders and paved and gravelled pathways.
